The sys_mon module gives you some information about the timing of the periodic tasks. It will give you a rough average (over 1 sec) cpu load, perdiodic time, periodic cycle time and min max of these. So your max should not be over the periodic time, otherwise in at least one cycle it took longer to calculate everything and the next one was slightly delayed...

The sys_mon module has to run at the full main frequency!

So either don't specify a main_freq parameter like in the example below or set your actual main frequency

To use it load the sys_mon module:

File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml
  <modules>
    ...
    <load name="sys_mon.xml"/>
  </modules>
